Painful Results of nm Effort to Make a
Bread Wagon of Dead Wagon.

Bread Wagon of Dead Wagon.
Thegold combination of tradesmen, IA

aad their queer doings have been con-
plstely knocked in the shade by the paint
er, baker aad the undertaken.
This is combination that Judge Weed
is at present wrestling with. One day early
last month Baker Andree of Hudson street.
made up his mind that he needed a new
wagon. About the same time Undertaken
Adair became convinced that he no long
er needed his dead wagon. They net
and while talding about wagons.
Painter Petit happened by, and hearing
what was said, offered to make deal with
the baker by which the dead wagon would
be transformed into first-elass modern
bakers wagon by couple of coats of pal It
and varnish. The undertaken was willing
to sell out cheaply, and agreed to sell the
wagon on lnstallments, and p aintcr Petit
called In the afternoon and got the wagop,
The next day he commenced work on, it,
and about the same time the undertaken
commenced work on the baker to secure
the first installment. The painter sue
ceeded in getting his first installment but
the undertaken got left The baker didn't
call for his wagon, although the painter
called for him several times. Finally the
painter got tired and called on Justice
Weed to find out what the Justice could do
to get his money forlhim. The undertaken
appeared but the baker failed to material
ize. A Constable was sent for the baker.
At his shop the Constable found Mrs. Ba-
ker Ancree. The lady allowed him to read
the notice of the Justice and promptly set
the dog on him. The Constable left a
piece of his pants in the dogs care and re-
ported the matter to the Judge. A warrant
will probably be issued for the dog.

We acknowledge the receipt of letter
fir ON ''You's &C., Lawrence S. Mott" de-
claring the statement in the SUNDAY
MORNING News of last Sunday, that he
had been snmmarily bounced from the
Nail GExpress for libeling Staff Little to be
utterly and maliciously false;" asserting
that he is "still correspondent of the
Mail C Cypress, and tia unless wecoriect our
statement in to days issue, we will have
an opp orrunry OF confronting our srate-
ments in Court" All that we have to say
in reply this missive, is that enr informa-
ton of his removal was got from their
published retraction of the charges Mott
beguiled them into publishing against Mr..
Little; and that we think the Mail O. En-
press's word is somewhat better than
Larry Motts-and that isn't saying any,
thing, either, for the Mal&Erpress. AS
for the threat of judicial proceedings with
which "Yours &C., Lawrence S. Mott
closes his letter we'll, it hasn't excited
even passing interest in our mind. 1t is
SO utterly impossible to libel such a fellow
as he is, that the blacklist lie that could be
told about him would only tend to make
him respectable.

Progressive Painters No. 2.

Last Thursday evening in Bergen Hall.
Progressive Painters Union No. Z, gave a
musical and dramatic entertainment. re-
markable for excellence of programme. and
the great merit of the participants. The
programme consisted of twenty numbers
and the large audience, despite the severity
of the weather, patiently awaited the fin
ish, and departed well satisfied. The
Steinway Male Quartette rendered several
selections, and for their efforts were ap-
plauded to the echo again and again. Mr..
j. Gordon Emmons recited in his custom
airy style, which it is needless to say is par
excellence. Mr.. d. A. Warden and Master
Eddie Warden kept the audience in con-
WILSON'S, and Mr.. w. A. Lavelle and Miss
Hattie Sherman in the "Hunchback" OBJ
tanned we'll deserved plaudits. Miss Sher-
mans acting, though at times conventional
gave promise of rare future work. The hit
OF the evening was made by Messrs. j. w.
Clarity and T. A. Leonard in s.Scenes
from Julius Cesar, the former as Brutus
and the latter as Cassius. In the great
"Q1arrel Scene" they evinced their talent
and ability 10 cope with many profession
ais. The stage settings for this scene were
very fine, and the costumes of the two
Roman heroes elegant. Mrs. Ross, with
fine contralto voice, very happily rendered
some difficult ballads. Miss Ella Brown
in several selections showed rare musical
talent. Miss Carrie Cue, Mr.. and Mrs. A
Bogart, Miss Annie Goetchins, and pretty
Miss Emma Coe, also appeared and
added to the general success. As whole,
the entertainment was the finest seen in
the hall for some years. The performance
was for the benefit of the relief fund
which is now probably much augmented

One of the Greatest of Actresses.
The announcement in these columns last
Sunday morning that Margaret Mither will
render her great part of Juliet, in the i'm
mortal love story of Romeo and Juliet, at
the Academy of Music, on the three last
days of this week, has aroused the deepest
interest in all circles, and the Academy
will probably be packed by such throne
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as it
has never known before. It will not he

the company even to the supernumeraries
that have for weeks past assisted at the
production of the play in New York, are to
come with her to this city.
Mics Mather comes of family of high
lineage, but her parents were very poor in
her youth, and fifteen years ago she was
selling papers on the streets of Detroit,
Her name appears ia fact upon list of the
Detroit s'Free Press" as that of the only
news girl in the city. Some keen eye
noticed her great powers of impersonation,
and had her educated for the profession of
which she has made herself 50 conspicuous
an ornament. She is yet less than twenty
five years of age, aud as beautiful in form
and features that she is reat in her part
The settings of the play are in keeping
with the skill of the players. There's
medieval Verona, historically true in
its reproduction, with its ancient bridge and
market in the afternoon sunshine; then
the sculptured ivy clad grand walls that
guard the Capulet mansion; and the braz-
en- gates of Juliets garden, that open by a
chance to display the moon-lit splendor
behind them. And then stands Romeo
gazing upwards to the vine-entwined bal
cony that springs 10 graceful curves from
the green walls.
" But SOFT What is the light through yonder win
dow breaks
1t is the easr, and Juliet is the sum-"
Seldom, indeed, has the stage presented
a more beautiful picture, harmonious, and
poetical in all its elements. 1t appears to
be possessed with the atmosphere of a fra

light, while the roseate light comes SHIN

Juliet's chamber suffusiny her graceful fig

balcony she listens to the vows of the ar
dent Romeo. The room in Capulet's house
in color and design is WORTHY of Kirkpat-
rick and, like Juliet's chamber, has its
draperies, its trappings and its furniture,
rich and massive. The church-yard and
tomb scene. in which ends this fateful
drama of love and devotion, are designed
and presented with wonderful skill and
fidelity in effect. But through it all

THE GERMAN SITUATION.
Preparations In Progress for spirited
Election.

Election.
BERLIN, Jan 15.-The dissolution of the
Reichstag has taken no party unawares
Preparations for new election have been
actively proceeding ever since the decision
of the military commission showed that the
Government was inevitable The number
of seats likely to be severely. contested is
estimated at fifty. OF these thirty-six are
held by Progressists and fourteen by the
Centre party. ALI the other seats are con-
sidered to be firmly held The fourteen
seats of the Centre party, which are i'm
perilled, are situated in Southern Germa-
ny, and were formerly held by the Nation
al Liberals. The Government may win
back under the pressure of patriotic ex-
element, VIII ich is running high in the
Southern States, but the general opinion
continues to be against the chances
of the Governments obtaining majority
Whatever may be the result the Govern
ment will adhere to its original demands.
If ths coming Reichstag confirms the de-
cisions of the last one, Prince Bismarck
may ignore that body and apply to the
separate legislatures to sanction an increase
of the army. This course is indicated in
the passage of his speech in which he re-
minded the Reichstag that the Emperor is
always able, as KING of Prussia, to appeal
with confidence to the Prussian Parliament
for the means of guarding the Fatherland.
Or he may try for period to rule without
q budget, trusting in the end to obtain d
vote of indemnity. The elections will be
watched with the most intense interest
where the contests are expected to turn on
narrow majorities.

SUNDAY. JAN. 16, 1887.

Another topic to which Governor Albeit
gives careful attention IN his message, is
the insufficient school accommodations in
the State. He says, with truth, that few if
any cities in the State are equipped with
school room for the children that live in
them. The carefully prepared tables that
accompanies the message, show that in
Camden, Cumberland, Essex, Hudson, Mer-
Ger, Middlesex, Morris, Passsic, Somer-
set, Union, and Warren Counties, the
school enrolment exceeds the school accom-
modations; that in other words there are
not seats enough in the public schools 10
accommodate the children who have sought
admission to them. Camden's enrolment
is nearly $4,000; she has room for only
10000. Nearly 5000 enrolled children in
Essex are unable to get places in the schools.
Hudson has 26, 208 seats for 36, 847 children
Mercer is 1900 seats short, and Passsic is
expected to crowd her Is, 455 anxious public
school charges into rooms built to accom-
modate less. than 10000. Throughout the
State, 222, 900 children and more have
applied for admission, and only 200, 900 can
be taken. This condition of affairs is es-
pecially deplorsble in the cities; and the
Governors figures show that there are
nearly Is. 900 little ones of school ag in the
State who attend no school. Some OF these
are forced to work at tender ages to keep
want from the door; bat not few of them
roam the streets because they cannot find
admission to the public schools. In Re-
public resting on the intelligence of her
sons, education should be as free ss the
air, and as accessible; and the communities
that do not place it within the reach of
their little ones should be forced to do it.
The Governors suggestion is that the
various cities and towns be given power to
issue bonds to provide ample school room
for their children, and that power be con-
ferred on State School Superintendent
Chapman, to mandamus them to provide it.

Our Trenton correspondent, whose letter
appears on the first page, writing impair
TALLY and without prejudice, presents the
two great obstacles to an easy solution of
the Senatorial question. The first is that
if two Democratic members of the House
are to be unseated Democratic success is
almost an impossibility. With Baird and
Kinney in the Democratic fold, the votes
of the Democrats from Camden and Mercer
are needed to give the Democrats majority
on joint ballot. Baird and Kinney are
both loud in professions of their desire to
vote Governor Albeit into the United
States Senate; but their professions are
valueless if they first succeed in destroying
the Democratic majority on joint ballot by
busting tive of the men whose votes are
needed to make up that majority. Even
with Baird and Kinney standing by their
colors at the elimination of the Senatorial
isis, the Democrats canaot then command
majority on joint meeting. Judas like
professions of love for the Master after
tney nau soiu ulLu W LIS enemies, Will NOT
save the men whose treachery threatens to
rob the party of its well earned laurels
from the contempt they we'll deserve.
Empty promises of support, after they
have arranged things so that their support
will be valueless, will only add the odium
of cowardice to their crime of treason; and
their fellow-men of all parties will have
greater contempt for them even, than if
they had boldly carried out their policy of
ruin. The second contingency in the case
is that of the Senate organic ation. On that
point his sreculations are novel and inter-
esting perhaps waat the Republicans
would call sc revolutionary
